An answer to a few of your questions

First off, I'd like to apologize for the lack of support and information regarding the Steam community as there is no reason or excuse for leaving you all in the dark. I'll be doing my best from here on out to respond to and help people within the Steam community, however, the best place to receive information and updates will still be the Official DDS Discord server[discord.gg] (My name on the Discord server is "Frosty").

Please keep in mind I am not a developer nor am I an employee of Byterunners Game Studio. I am an admin for the DDS Discord server and I will include information regarding the coming update(1.0.7) at the end of this post. I will try to respond to/help everyone that I can but I am only one person and I'm only human.

***Edit: I have just received word that they will assign an employee to maintain a presence on the Steam forums.***

Update 1.0.7 ETA: Released On 1/25/2021

Q: Is this game dead?

A: No, the game is not dead and content is still being added. I understand updates aren't coming as quick as people would like but the development team is a small indie studio with a limited number of employees.

Q: Why are there no guns like in the trailer?

A: The trailer was made more than a year before the actual release of the game and at the time guns actually were implemented but I understand this isn't an excuse for not creating a new trailer prior to release. Guns were scrapped due to balance issues and it was basically no different than being in a tank while everyone else is in a Honda Civic.

Q: Will there be co-op?

A: While co-op has not been 100% confirmed it is definitely a possibility. There is a chance that 2 player co-op will be added in the future but it is not set in stone.

Q: What about mod support?

A: The developers themselves have said they would like to implement mod support and there is a very high chance that it will be added. However, it is not currently a priority as they are focusing on the core aspects of the game for the time being.

Q: Why is my fps so low?

A: Update 1.0.6 caused a major drop in performance for some users and it has already been fixed in update 1.0.7. If your performance was impacted by update 1.0.6 expect a major increase in performance when 1.0.7 is launched. In the meantime you can add "-dx10" (without quotes) to the game's launch properties via Steam which will improve performance for some users.

Q: Where can I share my bug reports or suggestions?

A: Steam discussions has its own respective categories for these posts, however, the best place to share your bugs and voice your suggestions would be the DDS Discord server as this will give you the highest chance at getting a timely response.

Q: Where is the next update and What's in 1.0.7?

A: Update 1.0.7 is currently in the final testing stages and will be releasing January 2021. I can't provide an exact date as anything can happen and I don't want to leave you disappointed if a delay occurs. 1.0.7 was released on 1/25/2021 1.0.7 largely consists of new content along with much needed performance fixes which will greatly increase performance and fix the performance drop which accompanied 1.0.6. As for the content, I will share the following with you: 1.0.7 will add a new gang, a new drug family which consists of 3 different drugs, new missions, and more. It will also remove the Halloween decor that was added in 1.0.6.

New information I received today(12/28): OUTDATED

The developers essentially have a 'green light' to release the update and the trailer, however, the marketing team is holding off on release because they would like to promote it before release. They are currently trying to avoid promoting in CP77's shadow as they'd have to pay a premium on advertisements which isn't suitable for a small studio especially after their recent team expansion. In his words: "If we start to burn money for non efficient solutions then we will just have other problems. Anyway, its the way we want to go. Slow steps in a well defined direction than a chaotic push." Now, he did say that this is not something that will continue to happen with future updates. CP77's situation put their marketing team in a unique position.

Don't shoot the messenger.

I have marked a post as an answer because it includes extra information regarding 1.0.7 and future changes.

well you almost answered the questions we've all been asking for months. You say you can't give an exact date, but there must be an estimated release date. There have been no new test builds uploaded for 3 weeks, so it's safe to assume the patch is pretty much finished and there is a plan to release it soon, so i'd assume you have an idea how long this will be?

it's already been stated that bags and cupboards will hold more, but how much more? Will the DEA be more effective at raids instead of sitting there for weeks on end doing nothing? Will drug packages be set to 1kg again instead of dozens of 100g packages? Can garages and the main apartment be raided, instead of giving the player "safe zones" that effectively take away half of the implemented game mechanics?

you seem to have a clue of what's in the update, but only want to share the very basics. why is this? If sony was to advertise the ps5 this way then consumers would only know they're buying a console that plays games, and that is very very poor marketing. Since we, the consumers, are the ones who ultimately pay for this game, i feel it is only fair to tell us as much as possible about the product we paid for.

They're aiming for a 2020 release but nothing is 100%. I can't answer how much the capacity will be increased because I do not know but storage containers and mixers will also be receiving a capacity increase, as for how much they will be increased I don't know but they will be able to accommodate 500g and 1kg packages. When ordering from Eddie you are able to receive 1kg packages. The size/weight of money is also being re-worked. The capacity increases and re-worked money size/weight won't make it into 1.0.7 as they ran into a few issues with it. As for the DEA, there aren't any changes to it that I'm aware of. Feel free to suggest ideas for it in the discord server. The 'safe zones' are very likely to change in a later update. The reason I am not sharing everything is because I am legally bound by a NDA and can only share so much.

ok fair play, thanks for sharing what you can. much appreciated

Yeah bud, just ignore the comment calling out you and your team. Make no attempt to defend yourself. Why would you? Not like i'm wrong
They answer things that dont call them out, and respond to parts of comments that dont call them out, and ignore the other bits. But watch, my above comment will probably be deleted by tomorrow cause i called them out

Nobody's going to delete your comment, unless it goes against Steam rules. I'm only one person and I'll do my best to reply to everything I am able to.

and yet you repeatedly come into this thread and ignore my comment, because it calls you out for the crappy team you are. You're only one man and you can only reply to what you're able to? I'm only one man, with a full time job, and i can find 2 mins a day to reply to this thread. How is it that you can't find the time when it's literally part of your job to respond to customers?

If you work for MovieGames could you clarify who the developer of the game Gangster Simulator is? Byterunners said that they have no connection to the game at all. Yet its basically mostly contains the features that DDS was originally promised to have before release. Looking at every game that you are connected to you are a Publisher not a Developer and you dont seem to have been a developer ever before for any of those games. However on the Gangster Simulator steam page MovieGames are set as both publisher AND developer.

I'm sure you can understand how this could be interpreted by other people who are unhappy with promised features being removed and then a game DEVELOPED by the games publisher is suddenly being shown as upcoming. I was under the impression that a Publisher didnt act as a Developer as well typically.

Gangster Simulator is made by the developers from True Games. Byterunners have no connection to the game nor the devs. The reason why Movie Games is listed as a publisher and the developer for Gangster Simulator is becaue True Games don't have their Steam page yet. I understand it's confusing, I was caught off guard as well by that at first.

Can you confirm some of the new gameplay that will come with the update? Some people said a new gang distributor for weed, new drugs and a new shop, can you confirm this? We don't need details or screenshots, just having an idea of what to expect would be great.

I can confirm most of it. :)

Modding should be prioritized that way people aren't too bothered on real updates. They can just enjoy modded content from random 3rd parties in between actual content being added.

If this game was opened up to modders it would have 5 times the content it has now and next to no bugs. I've seen more progress from a single person in a week than this dev team in 6 months.

We're close to the finish line. The update is almost ready and we're just waiting for an official green light to release it.
I know you're waiting for it and we really want to release it ASAP so you all can enjoy it. :)
